- [Avodah] Segulos and how they work March 10, 2026If I may add one point that I don't think RJIR and R'Micha raised in their respective, excellent V44n15 responses (if one or both did, please forgive me for not thus understanding...): if someone can positively change herself psychologically, she becomes a different person subject to a different (hopefully "rewarding") outcome -- compare with *t'shuvah*.

- [Avodah] Segulos and how they work March 8, 2026. The methodology of segulos is a frequent topic here, and I came across a relevant Kitzur Shulchan Aruch that I'd like to share with the chevra. In Hilchos Ner Shabbos 75:2, the Kitzur describes two sorts of women. The first is "Isha k'shas ruach b'gidul banim", which ArtScroll translates as "A woman who is […]
- [Avodah] Chofetz Chaim March 5, 2026I remember once hearing a story that as a boy the Chofetz Chaim and his friends were playing a game saying what they would change about the past if they could. His answer was nothing because everything that happens happens because HKBH wants it to. Does this sound familiar to anybody and, if so, do […]

- [Avodah] Arba'a Turim February 24, 2026. This week, we read Tetzaveh, which tells us about the Choshen and the twelve jewels placed in it. You may think you know how those jewels are arranged, but the Torah is actually ambiguous, and the result is a machlokes. Shemos 28:17 tells us that there will be four "turim", and which jewels are […]

That is literally what the Ta'am Elyon is for, > using te'amim above the letters for not pausing until the > end of every dibberah This makes sense, and I'm sure that both of […]
